Newbie here (who else.) I feel confident I can excel in the actual
programming of rails apps. But all the tutorials just glaze over mySQL
which seems to me, by far, the most problematic area for new users.
I have tried a ton of different things here. I know mySQL is installed
and running in one place or another. I don't know how to tell my rails
app with the hell to do about it. I do have the "Welcome Aboard" screen
showing at localhost:3000 with the following details:
Ruby version 1.8.6 (i686-darwin8.9.1)
RubyGems version 0.9.2
Rails version 1.2.3
Active Record version 1.15.3
Action Pack version 1.13.3
Action Web Service version 1.2.3
Action Mailer version 1.3.3
Active Support version 1.4.2
Application root /Users/rmorourk/Sites/depot
Environment development
Database adapter mysql
When I try to do something with the database here is what I run into.
bio4054059:depot rmorourk$ rake db:migrate
(in /Users/rmorourk/Sites/depot)
rake aborted!
Unknown database 'depot_development'
The development portion of my database.yml file looks like this:
development:
adapter: mysql
database: depot_development
username: root
password: root
host: localhost
socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
I added the socket line after I installed MAMP as per a tutorial... But
when I am in the terminal and I want to do something with the database,
like;
bio4054059:depot rmorourk$ mysql -uroot depot_development
-bash: mysql: command not found
I get the error on the second line --- any advise? I assume this has to
be a issue of im not telling something to look in the right somewhere,
but I am about ready to put my fist in the wall on this thing. I would
LOVE some advise!
Thanks!!
